Noticeboard

Stretton Branch Surgery Patients - We will be migrating over to a new clinical system on 7th August 2018. While we prepare to go to the new system we will not have full access to the computer system so we will be only running a small number of clinics. This may limit access to Doctors appointments for the next ten days. Please bear with us during this time. From 8th August access will return to normal.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.
